Multiple sclerosis, also known as MS, is one of humankind’s most mysterious diseases. No one knows the exact cause and there is no exact treatment. Still multiple sclerosis has the ability to affect nearly 3 million people worldwide and at least 500,000 people in the United States (Boroch). This disease tends to be more common in individuals of northern European descent and women are more than twice as likely to develop multiple sclerosis as men. Of those 3 million people, most of them are between the ages of 20 and 50 years old (Dangond). Even though multiple sclerosis is a mystery disease, scientists are working to determine the exact cause and treatment.
Thesis: Multiple sclerosis brings daily challenges to whomever struggles with it, but with the right team of doctors and medication, it can be maintained.
C. Thesis Statement: With autoimmune diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis on a steady rise over the past decade, three major factors must be considered: the possible causes, common symptoms, and
My patient was very active and attended the YMCA five days a week. I helped adjust her activities to balance her workout between circuit training, Yoga, and aquatic classes. It is incredibly important for an MS patient to get exercise to improve endurance and maintain or improve physical function. Setting a schedule to break apart similar activities helps to prevent fatigue and MS exacerbation. I also educated her on proper posture, proper set up and machine use, as well as proper form when completing free weight exercises. In addition, I educated the patient on proper stretching and treatment for her inflamed and overused
CrossFit is an intense exercise program that features high-intensity workouts. CrossFit athletes perform dynamic exercises like Olympic lifts and plyometric jumps. This workout program uses non-traditional equipment such as sand-bags, kettlebells, water-filled implements and suspension systems. Participants are challenged to do a certain number of repetitions in a workout in a specific time frame. These workouts are intense and involve very fast movements. Agility, flexibility, balance and power are all important concepts in CrossFit workouts. Due to the intensity and precise movements involved in a CrossFit workout, this type of exercise must be performed on a reliable and stable
In regards to treatment for Multiple Sclerosis, there are a number of medication that have been shown to slow down the rate of MS. Many therapeutic and technological options are available to help people manage and control some of their symptoms. Advances are made every year in treating and managing MS to stop disease progression and restore lost function.
Multiple Sclerosis is a degenerative disease that effects the Central Nervous System. Approximately 400,000 individuals are living with Multiple Sclerosis in the United States, and 2.5 million worldwide. There are an estimated 10,000 new cases annually, in the United States alone. Various factors including geography, gender, and race are significant risk factors in developing the disease. Diagnosis at early onset of symptoms is beneficial to the treatment of progression and there are numerous medications used to combat the frequency and duration of relapse symptoms caused by Multiple
In 2015, researchers conducted a study on 79 adults (mean age 68.7) to determine the validity of the BESTest, Mini-BESTest and Brief BESTest. Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale, The Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly, The Timed Up and GO Test, and The Single Leg Stance test were used to assess the
Multiple Sclerosis is a long-lasting disease that can affect your brain, spinal cord, and the nerves in your eyes. It can cause problems with your vision, balance, muscle control, and other bodily functions. There is no cause for Multiple Sclerosis but there are many symptoms that can lead you to think that you do have this special disease. Starting with vison loss, pain, fatigue, and impaired coordination. Some people can be symptom free, meanwhile some have those chronic symptoms that never go away. When you begin to have MS, it starts in your immune system, then attacks your central nervous system. There are more than 350,000 people in the United States have this progressive disease. Including Northern Europe, Southern Australia,
Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that commonly found in individuals between the ages of 20 and 40. While men with MS tend to have a faster progressing disease, women are more likely than men to develop it. MS comes in many forms due to the extent of the damage and the amount of lesions, along with how quickly it progresses. All of this collectively forms the MS community today and has resulted in new test methods and forms of treatment developed to both help relieve the symptoms and slow the progression of the disease. This research paper will go through what causes a person to develop MS, what is going on within the body that causes the symptoms people experience,
The first written report of multiple sclerosis was in 1400, when Lydwina of Schieden was diagnosed. The disease was described clinically by Jean-Martin Charcot in 1877. He recognized that the disease affected the nervous system and tried remedies, with no success. In 1890, suppression of sweat was thought to be the cause of multiple sclerosis, treatment was electrical stimulation and bed rest. By 1910, multiple sclerosis was thought to be caused by toxins in blood. In the 1930s, poor circulation was yet again believed to cause multiple sclerosis. In the 1950s through the 1970s, multiple sclerosis was thought to be causes by allergies. It wasn’t until the 1980s when multiple sclerosis was finally understood and treatment was developed (Campanella and Zawada).
In clinical practice, health care services are being delivered to patients with multiple sclerosis by reducing disease activity, managing symptoms, and maintaining quality of life (Halper & Harris, 2012). However, the domains of MS nursing and health insurance case management includes more than clinical practice. Equally important to clinical nursing practice domain in MS are the advocacy, education, and research domains (Halper & Harris, 2012).
background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common inflammatory demyelinating disease of the CNS and the most frequent cause of nontraumatic neurological disability in young and middle-aged adults (1). Women are twice as likely to be affected as men, and onset typically occurs between the ages of 20 and 40 years (2). The diagnosis Depend on a detailed history; careful neurological examination; and supportive paraclinical investigations. According to the new McDonald criteria, the diagnosis of MS requires objective evidence of lesions disseminated in space and time.MRI findings may contribute to the determination of dissemination in time or space (4).
For shoulder flexion 61% of the variance could be accounted for by the sit-and-reach. A correlation was also found between the modified sit-and-reach test and both the shoulder extension and hip flexion tests. For shoulder extension 33% of the variance was accounted for by the modified sit-and-reach and for hip flexion 22% of the variance was accounted for by the modified sit-and-reach.
To work on the athlete balance stabilization, a few exercises can be implemented into their training program. Some exercises consist of single-leg balance progression, single-leg balance reach progression, and single-leg balance with dynamic movement progression. These exercises can help assist in the sensitization of muscles spindles leading to improvements in neuromuscular efficiency (Clark, pg. 216).
